We have similar dates, I was sleeved 9/9/13... Start weight 236... To date I'm at 215...I'm guess I lose about 2lbs or less a week... Since I've gone back to work I haven't been to the gym but I'm still losing so I'm not complaining.. The thing is I look like I've lost 30lbs because I've lost inches and my silluette is shrinking. Enough about me.. You look great And your stomach is almost non Existent. I wish it was losing at your rate but I'll take what I have.. IRemain focused!!!Because the weight is dropping off and you inspire me as well!!

You look great .... So much more youthful, healthy and happy... You are beautiful in both pics!

I'm 2 weeks post op today and 12 lbs down so I'm happy with my weight loss... today I'm able to start soft/ purée... For me this included scrambled egg, ground chicken, turkey etc. I decided to have an egg for breakfast with a chicken sausage... Which is 25g protein and 250 calories so I'm thinking its a good choice. My problem is when I swallow, it is very hard to get pills, and now eggs/ sausage down without it getting stuck going down causing nausea (and 1x vomiting )until it goes down... I know I'm told not to drink 30 min before & 30 min after but I had to take a few sips to get it to go down ... Needless to say I got down the egg but only 1/4 of the sausage ... & I'm full ...What can/ should I do about this? I look forward to hearing some advice, please!!

Thanks everyone... Believe me I'm taking heed to the advice... I really appreciate it!!thanks for the support as well!!

@ SeriouslyChange Thanks for the vitamin I'll check it out when I'm done mine... Seems to offer a great amount of everything

Thanks a lot..... I realize my error.. No it was a regular chicken sausage... I agree they are fattening but this one had 19 grams of protein .... 10 grams fat... I did add 1 oz of cheese to the egg... I'm told either 1 whole egg or 2 egg whites.... I wasn't able to get the whole sausage down just 1:4 & the egg before feeling full. So before attempting again I will purée it... Thanks for your advice

I'm guessing I should have puréed it... But it's ground so I thought I could .. But puréed ... ... Ill chalk it up as a huge lesson learned!

Girl you look great!!! although you are beautiful in both pics... You look so much younger in your after pic..... So happy for and proud of you.!!! Keep up the great work you will reach your goal before you know it!!!

Hi everyone ...I'm 11 days post -op & down 10 lbs. per the scale on monday( I weigh in weekly) so ill weigh in again on this coming Monday.....I had terrible gas day of surgery and day 1 after surgery by day 2 after surgery it was gone.... I was told that the only way to get rid of the gas was to walk and so I walked and walked and walked.. Every time I used the ladies room I walked around the entire nurses unit...the gas pain was very bad for me I wasn't passing gas til day 2 and that's also when I had a bm. But I belched continuously... My gas slowly went down and not up to my shoulders.. Otherwise I only had soreness at my incision sites.... No pain. Best wishes!

Good job curvy, you look great I'm 10 days post op lost 10lbs since day of surgery weight... Excited to lose ... Congrats on your weightloss!!

HI Everyone, I'm new here...was sleeved on 9/9/13....had horrible gas the first two days post op but by morning of day three i had no more gas...I never had any pain except during coughing so after gas was gone I needed no further pain med...my food allowance and progression is 1st week-clear liquids, 2nd week full liquids, 3rd week soft/puree, 4th week regular texture no bread, pasta, for 1st 4-6 months.... so Im on full liquids which includes greek yogurt, hot cereal, pudding, milk, protein shakes,etc,,,so far so good for me, I belch way more than I ever did, and I'm finally able to drink and get at least 32 ounces and get all my protein in. taking my supplements is another story, Im having a hard time getting the pills down.. they get stuck while trying to go down and it burns and causes nausea. today was the first day I had no burning and got the pills down while taking continuous sips....I've decided to weigh myself weekly. started pre-op surgery day 237 and upon leaving hospital I was 5lbs down, one week later 10 lbs down. I'll weigh myself again. on 9/23. im excited about my journey though i must admit , I cant wait to have some textured food....please discuss your experiences...Im excited to hear about others

Nice to hear about others... I'm having difficulty navigating so any tips will help me... I wish every one the best... Lets keep in touch... How do you friend others?
